PRESERVED POTATOES.

The Germans have hit upon what they
consider brilliant idea in regard to po-
tatoes for export They peel the tubers
by machinery, wash and slice them, then
soak them 20 minutes in a strong solu-
ton of salt. The brine gives firmness
to the slices and prevents change of col
or, securing what sui phur does for fruits.
The slices are subsequently drained, and
dried on hurdle shelves at a temperature
from 1852 to 1859 Fahrenheit. This dry
ing process is longer than with fruit
There prepared slices have to be soaked
in water from II to Is hours before cook
ing, when they become, it is alleged, as
fresh and tiavory as new potatoes. If
this is true, it would seem as if the Yam
kee evaporator process would be great
improvement. SaIt-soaked vegetables

TOUGH MEAT.

This plan for cooking tough meat am
sure you will try the second time, if you
do the first. 1t is applicable to fresh or
corn beef, or mutton. An old fowl
will make a savory dish when SO cooked.
Put on to boil in kettle as usual. In
stead of the usual cover a tin pan that
will just fit the top is used. Fill the pan
nearly full of cold water and replenish
when it gets hot. Boil until the meat
drops form the bones. Slow boiling is
better than fast. The idea is this: The
steam from the kettle, instead of passing
into the ar, as is usual when cooking with
the cover on, copdenses on the bottom of
the pan ana drops back into the kettle so
long as the water does not boil in the
pan.
When done, skim out into a deep
dish, remove the. bones, boil down the
liquor and add to the meat, cover with a
plate and put on a weight. When cold
cut in slices.

FUNNY OCEAN BRAVE.
One Of His Playful Tricks with the
Editor OF the " Banner of Light"

Luther Colby, the veteran editor Of the
Banner Of Light, the Oldest journal devoted
to spiritualism in this country, has recently
spent several days In New York. Mr..
Colby Is medium, and his attendant ghost
is one Ocean Brave, very large, powerful,
but Invisible Indian. Last Sunday morning
an ex.iudge, well known In New York,
called on Mr.. Colby at his hotel, and found
him sitting on his bed In an apparently dis
turbed state OF mind.

"what's the mattef?" inquired tho Judge.
"MatteI Why, Ocean Brave has been
up to his old tricks. He has stolen my vest
again, and it's the second time.n
Then Mr.. Colby arose with woebegone
expression on his conference.-the bears a
striking resemblance to tho best likeness

rearch through the bedclothes for his lost
vest. he turned down tho blankets, shook
out the sheets, looked under the mattress,
but found no vest Then no graw wrathy,
and, shaking his fist at the point In empty
space where Ocean Brave was supposed TO
be. cried out:
"D--n you, Ocean Brave tell me where
that vest Is, or I'll never speak to you
again,"
Then he went to the bureau and pulled
out every drawer and pushed each ono

PRIZE FIGHT INTERRUPTED.
SIX Rounds Fought and Sheriff Miller
Takes the Seventh.

During Saturday and Sunday number Of
sporting men were seen departing from
this city by way of the Metropolitan branch
railroad. Their objective point WAS said
to be Rockville, Nd. but 1t was known
that their real purpose was to see the
prize fight between William Colbert, of
this city, and Thomas Farrell, of Pitts
burg, Pa, for 5000 side. The travellers
did not stop at Rockville, but dropped off
at places near Point OF Rocks. Yester-
day morning the fight took place
three miles this side of Point OF
Rocks, on Sugar Loaf Mountain.
There were but few friends OF both par.
ties present. The men got to work quickly
and were about to begin the seventh round
when Sheriff Miller and posse of men
came down upon them and broke up the
mill. Colbert, It is said, had the best OF
the fight and would have won 10 the seventh
round but for the interference of the sheriff.
II Farrell fails to meet Colbert next Satur-
dag the money will be given to the latter.
The Washington contingent arrived here
last night.
John O'Brien, OF Chicago, who Is backing
Colbert, is willing TO bet from $500 to $500
that fe-will whip Farrell, and can be found
by addressing the city postoillce.

Provided with n Dinner by tho Chill

Yesterday afternoon sixty lIttle colorod
newsboys aud bootbacks laid aside their
papers and ''shine 'em up" outfits and as
sembled at Wlllard's Hall to participate Ia
n dinner given them by the ladies' compos-
Ing the industrial committee Of tho News
boys and Children's Aid Society. The
dinner was a most pronounced success.
The boys all appeared clad In their best
ard with their shoes blacked TO such shine
as would make Co lnecticut avenue dude
pale with envy. Turkey, chicken, ham,
vegetables, coffee, pies, cake, and pudding
vanished as II by magic down the throats OF
the hungry urchins who appreciated the
bounties set before them as an oasis in the
desert Of their daily life. IL is needless to
say the whole souled ladies In charge were
delighted at IL. The boys observed ex-
celent decorum, and showed the result OF
the care and attention lavished on them.
About twenty five OF the boys attend the
Howard University Industrial class once or
twice week. AS they are unable to attend
the public schools owing TO the necessity OF
supporting themselves, and in many other
instances Others depending on them, IL Il
were not for the interest taken to teach
them trades they would probably grow up
to increase the criminal classes. The boys
are making great progress at the.carpenter's
bench, aud show some creditable work as
the result Of their efforts. Each boy
brought one or more companions with him
to the dinner, and endeavored to induce
them to Join the class at the university.
After the boys had gorged themselves aud
filled their pockets with nuts aud ralslns
they were entertained by music, singing,
and recitations rendered by Mr.. Frank WI.
SOB, DIR. j. L. Hepsley, Mrs. Nailor, and
others, after which Rev. Dr. Crummel de-

the boys have signifled their desire to join
the class. The great distance OF Howard
University is drawback to some extent,
many OF the boys after trudglug out to the
piece being so worn out that IL became
necessary to feed them.
The thanks OF the ladies are extended TO
the following for liberal aid rendered. Mr..

SPORT FOR THE PARLoR.
Diversion in Which the Family Cat
Plays IN Important Part.
Chicago Tribune

lCDlCagO IrlDuue.I
The cry OF physicians all over the country
Is that Americans do not take sufficient rest
and recreation; that holidays and seasons
of relaxation are far too few. have
looked into the matter some and find that 1t
is ony too true. / have little plan to
largely do away with this.
My plan Is inexpensive and takes but
little time. 1t Is as follows: Get sheet Of
common sticky fly paper, such as any drug.
gist con furnish you. Lay 1t on the carpet
In the middle OF the floor and then intro
duce the family cat and by fair means or
foul, according to the place you occupy in
the confidence Of the feline, induce her to
step on 1t.
Now this may at first sight look friv.
olous, and beneath the old and digui1ed
lawyer, minister, or broker, but IL so II Is
only because he has never tried 1t.
II is at first sufficient to induce the cat
to place one foot on the paper, and If,
after she makes the rounds OF the room n
few times leaping the furniture, she has
not become more closely connected with
II, sLe may be persuaded to attach her
near forefoot and off h!ndfoot, aud again
he allowed to leave the bfic- a. brac aud
turn back handsprings off the piano.
Here you have TEST and pleasure com.
bIned.
When she gets all four feet on 1t, as she
must sooner or later, ana MAKES Hylng
leaps at the chandelier, then you have
relaxation, sport, and holiday gayety all
for five cents for psper.
II you haven't cat of your own you can
inveigle your neighbours into the parlor. In
such case IL is better for the neighborhood
harmony to remove the paper before you
let her return home.
Do not adjust one cat on more than one
piece OF paper, though several cats and an
equal number Of papers greatly increase the
excitement, and consequent beneficial re.
suit to the person seeking recreation.
The practice Of grabbing the cot by the
tail and slamming her down on the paper
broadsides cannot be too strongly discour-
aged.
After It is all over the paper can be re-.
moved with q little warm water, and you
will go to your business refreshed In mind
and body and feeling as II you had always
been running for Office on the laboring man's
ticket and had never done any work In your
